(Note that I would argue against adding more general display output

of essentially no value to libavdevice users. Removing legacy code
is harder, though.)
I use libavdevice in my projects, and these output devices have a lot of
value to me.
Can you explain in more detail your use of libavdevice here?
My general sense is that while they might sometimes be convenient to use if you
are already working in a libav* context, they are so limited (by both the API
and the implementation) that most users who want video output to a screen will
turn more full-featured players to implement this.
(To be clear here, I am talking specifically about outputs to a screen like
fbdev/xv, not about output to non-screen-like devices such as v4l2 which
certainly do have other use-cases.)
Thanks,
